High-speed head for placement  equipment
Universal Instruments‘ high-speed Lightning placement head extends the performance of its Genesis and AdVantis platform systems. The placement head features a radial array of 30 individually controlled spindles. This configuration delivers productivity-enhancing features that drive placement rates up to 54,000cph specified speed for Genesis, and 30,000cph for AdVantis. Lightning comes reportedly as the industry’s fastest placement head technology with a duty cycle of just 60ms. This pick-to-pick or place-to-place performance delivers chip-shooting speeds in platforms that succeed in maintaining commonality of feeders, vision, heads and software with other Universal platforms. This way, Lightning makes an all-platform line a reality, extending the functionality into high-volume manufacturing without sacrificing flexibility and fast product-changeover capability. The rotary drive is based on the patented VRM (variable reluctance linear motor) concept. The direct-drive rotary Phi-motion VRM was designed to feature fewer parts, improve reliability and deliver exceptional performance. Dual on-the-head optics allow addressing a wide range of parts from 01005 to 30mm x 30mm, and supports component pre-orientation as well as on-the-head rejection for small parts to further enhance throughput and productivity. The plug-in spindle modules are designed to be quickly replaced, and each contains a tiny air-kiss Venturi vacuum generator to maintain a short and low maintenance vacuum path. As a result, the head places devices such as CSP, WSP, MicroBGAs and Melfs at full speed. A design goal was to combine best-in-class performance with competitive pricing, as well as significantly reducing the maintenance requirements of typical multi-spindle heads. Ligthning allows a dual-beam, dual-head system to compete with four-beam, four-head machines, as UIC declares.
